An object is an instance that originates from a class.
In the metamodel,
Object is a subclass of Instance originating from a Class. The Class may
be modified dynamically, which means that the set of features of the Object
may change during its life-time.
An object is an instance that originates
from a class; it is structured and behaves according to its class. All
objects originating from the same class are structured in the same way,
although each of them has its own set of attribute slots. Each attribute
slot references an instance, usually a data value or possibly, another
object. The number of attribute slots with the same name fulfills the multiplicity
of the corresponding attribute in the class. The set may be modified according
to the specification in the corresponding attribute, e.g. each
referenced instance must originate from (a specialization of) the type
of the attribute, and attribute slots may be added or removed according
to the changeable property of the attribute.
